Edison was very knowledgable of the subject, Ingapirca, but also about the area, habits, soccer, or whatever the conversation went about. Really fun

This tour was very enjoyable, and my guide Sebastian was excellent. He was patient with my many questions and explained the history and culture of the region very well. I learned a lot about the history of Ingapirca and the ancient civilisations that built it. Sebastian also showed some flexibility in allowing us to sample a dish of pork skin along the way. One minor oversight was that I didn't get to see the Incan mountain face, but overall, the extra information that I learnt more than made up for it. Sebastian was kind enough to drop me off at a location near my hotel that I had wanted to go to. He was also helpful with recommendations on where to eat in Cuenca. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone keen to learn about the history of Ingapirca.
